Thanks to everyone who worked on this. I do understand just how much is involved to get to a new release.
First question on this subject then. My LinuxCNC on the Pi4 is 2.8.4 on Buster. A sudo apt-get update does update some files but then says other paths won't be valid for 17 days and some hours, minutes and seconds. Therefore doing a sudo apt-get upgrade again upgrades some files but also reports path not found. How does one upgrade a Pi4 running LinuxCNC without building the OS from scratch?
